The others were stunned.
Soul Masters rely on the Soul Skills within their Soul Rings for combat. If they cannot use the Soul Skills within their Soul Rings, wouldn't they be weakening themselves?
Xie Yue said, "My Moon Blade is extremely sharp. Not being able to use the soul skills in my soul rings will not affect my combat power."
Tuoba Yan nodded.
Everyone else understood immediately.
Among everyone present, apart from Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, Xie Yue is probably the only one who possesses a self-created soul skill.
Of course, under Tuoba Yan's guidance, Xu Yu learned the techniques for using superhuman strength. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a self-created soul skill.
Xie Yue raised her head, suppressing her excitement, and asked, "But why did you give it to me?"
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "Do I need a reason?"
Xie Yue continued, "I am Hu Liena's biological brother!"
"So what!"
"My own sister is Bibi Dong's disciple, and you have usurped Bibi Dong's papal throne."
"Yes, so what?"
"You shouldn't have given me the soul bone. It puts me in a very difficult position."
Are you feeling embarrassed?
"I..."
"Xie Yue, broaden your horizons. Don't let a narrow perspective limit your potential. Your future lies in the realm of gods."
"The realm of gods?"
A thud sounded as Xie Yue knelt down.
Yan was utterly shocked.
Xie Yue, Hu Liena's older brother, actually knelt down before Tuoba Yan.
Xie Yue said, "Boss, I'm willing to be your underling. But I have conditions."
"Don't tell me, I don't accept any requests from anyone."
"Let's listen to it first."
"Okay, let's hear it."
Tuoba Yan smiled. He wanted to hear what Xie Yue wanted to ask of him.
"First, I will only be loyal to you, not through any other person. I will not obey any orders that pass through a third party, including your subordinates and your future woman. I will only obey orders given by your own mouth."
"Why?"
The person asking the question was Shui Yue'er.
Shui Yue'er didn't understand why Xieyue, who was loyal to Tuoba Yan, would make this strange request.
Salas, a worldly-wise man, looked at Xie Yue with admiration and replied, "Xie Yue, you are truly a promising talent. Everyone's consciousness and thoughts are different. These differences in consciousness and thoughts determine the differences in people's behavior. Sometimes, good orders from above are passed down, but they change when they reach the bottom. I've seen strange things where gifts from above, originally given, turned into suppression when they reached the bottom!"
"Such a strange thing?" Shui Yue'er laughed.
Salas glanced at Shui Yue'er, but he didn't laugh at her ignorance or naivety.
Salas once witnessed His Majesty Snow Night wanting to bestow benefits upon someone he favored, but the benefits turned into suppression through the hands of his subordinates.
Moreover, the people below were indignant and, clinging to their own ideas and thoughts, relayed their complaints to His Majesty Xue Ye as if they were the truth.
At first, His Majesty Xue Ye didn't care. After all, he was the emperor of a nation, with a heart as vast as the sea.
In the end, even if the talented scholar wrote a novel in which he said some villainous things, the subordinate who did the bad things would slander the scholar as wanting to rebel and would curse His Majesty Xue Ye in the book, forcibly matching His Majesty Xue Ye with the characters in the book.
Is it ridiculous?
ridiculous.
There's more.
The talented scholar, who received no benefit whatsoever from writing a book to make a living, was still used by them to make a fuss, with accusations that he was... rebelling!
Not only that.
The talented man lived in poverty and had no choice but to take risks and do business.
He lost money.
After losing money for a while, the talented man finally seized an opportunity. It seemed he was about to recoup his losses and make a fortune.
As it turned out, His Majesty's subordinates said this man was a chosen one. Some slandered him, saying he shouldn't be allowed to have money, because he would rebel.
Salas wanted to laugh whenever he thought about these things.
What's this called, the chosen one?
Isn't it normal for a gambler who has lost a lot of money to occasionally recover some losses?
Making a fuss over nothing, as if you've never seen the world before, slandering and spreading rumors, as if others are planning a rebellion?
And you're saying that person won by lying down?
Please. Did you even see how much risk others took? You're incredibly ignorant.
A talented individual with the potential to revitalize the Tiandou Empire ended up becoming someone who no longer cared about the Tiandou Empire because of the relationship between His Majesty Xue Ye and the talented scholar.
Whose fault is it?
It's clear at a glance.
The talented man is not at fault. He exerted his efforts but gained nothing and was inexplicably suppressed. Isn't it only natural for him to say some angry words?
His Majesty was not wrong either. He intended to offer benefits and rewards. However, the nature of the offer changed when it reached his subordinates.
The talented scholar, knowing Emperor Xue Ye's good intentions, later realized that the benefit Emperor Xue Ye intended to give was due to the mistakes made by his subordinates.
Salas sought out the talented scholar. He didn't hold a grudge against Emperor Xue Ye, but he was no longer willing to help the Tiandou Empire. He never wanted to have anything to do with Emperor Xue Ye or the Tiandou Empire again.
Salas wanted to invite Cai Zi to join the Spirit Hall, but Cai Zi refused. Cai Zi said that he was a citizen of the Tiandou Empire and would not help others against his own country.
Out of compassion, Salas did not report the man to the Spirit Hall.
However, the story doesn't end there.
The official continued his suppression. He continued to slander the talented scholar, relentlessly pursuing him.
Salas, upon hearing that the official had committed so many wrongdoings, simply said, "He deserved it."
Salas was filled with righteous indignation at the truth, thinking that the talented man deserved what he got.
If he breaks the law, the national law will naturally bring him to justice!
As for doing things that harm society, is this talented man a fool? He's worked hard to earn money, enough to live a good life. Why would he forgo a good life and use his hard-earned money to harm society? Isn't that just stupid?
Sometimes, talented people get so bothered by them that they block them out.
Guess what they said? They actually said this is a real rebellion! They said he's been exonerated!
Ha ha ha ha!
A rebellion needs people, right? Where are they?
A rebellion needs weapons, right? Where are the weapons?
To clear one's name, one must first uncover the truth, not the falsehoods. Did this talented individual break the law?
The logic is flawed.
Others work hard to become rich, only to harm society with their hard-earned money and end up in prison?
What kind of brain do you have?
What kind of logic is that?
To be honest, from His Majesty Xue Ye's perspective, there's definitely no need to deal with an ordinary person. That official, for some unknown reason, used His Majesty Xue Ye to forcefully spread various slanderous rumors.
That's not the point.
The key point is that after His Majesty's confidant and the talented scholar reconciled, the officials under the confidant, who had no conflict of interest with the talented scholar, continued to suppress him.
That really is a crow.
Consciousness and thought are wondrous things.
Stubbornness determines whether a person's behavior is normal.
It was precisely because of such strange people that, in the end, His Majesty Xue Ye lost his talented son and never obtained what he desired most in his lifetime.
Salas smiled and said, "Xie Yue, I support your request. Some people, after doing those things, don't even know what they want! The Douluo Continent may have wise people, but there are always a few eccentric and mentally unstable individuals! Encountering one is a curse!"
